Conyers Busts

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Stephen Conyers had been short for a while an just back from the break he made his move from late position and was all in. He didn’t seem particularly happy to get a call from Patricia Baker.

Conyers had {10-Hearts}{7-Clubs} but was at least live against the {a-Hearts}{q-Spades} of Baker.

The flop of {10-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{8-Spades} saw Conyers clap his hands but the turn {9-Hearts} gave Baker a straight. The {3-Hearts} on the river saw Conyers exit the tournament.

Henderson Takes Down a Monster

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Aaron Henderson

On the last hand before break, we walked up to a ton of chips in the middle preflop and Ray Kluever contemplating his move from the small blind.

It appeared that the action had started with Ronaldo Rodriguez opening from middle position, with a raise from Kluever to 11,500. Henderson had four-bet all in from the big blind and Rodriguez called all in for approximately 39,000.

"Do I go for the triple up," Kluever asked. He seemingly agonized over his decision and then said "I have big slick," which prompted a warning from the dealer to not talk about his hand. Finally, Kluever said, "Screw it, I came to win" and made the call.

He was in bad shape with his {a-Hearts}{k-Spades} as Henderson turned over {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} and Rodriguez had them both crushed with {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}. The flop was {10-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} and Kluever cheered as he had flopped broadway. Almost in unison, though the table said "diamonds" and the dealer cruelly turned the {6-Diamonds} to seal it for Henderson.

The {4-Hearts} completed the board as Kluever and Rodriguez stood stunned. Rodriguez finished in 38th place, Kluever in 37th and Henderson is now the big daddy with 285,000.

Grymyr Gets Caught

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Daniel Grymyr told us that he “Got caught up on some in some bullshit.” as he headed to the pay-out cage.

Turned out he shoved {j-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} into one of the biggest stacks in the room Jay Graunstadt who made the call with {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}. The queens held and while the rich got richer Grymr went broke.

Over for Glover

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Dennis Glover moved all in for a sub 30k stack and got a quick call from the player to his left Jason James. Glover had {a-Hearts}{7-Clubs} and need help against the big pair {j-Spades}{j-Hearts} of James.

Out the cards came, {9-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{4-Hearts}. The turn card just rubbing it in as Glover made his way to the pay-out desk.

Zhong is Out

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

We walked up to a board of {k-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} and a blind versus blind situation. David Luttbeg led from the small blind for 7,500 and Chen Zhong called. The turn was the {q-Hearts} and Luttbeg bet 12,000 and Zhong raised all in for 45,200.

Luttbeg thought for a while before finally calling. He flipped over {a-}{k-} and Zhong showed {q-}{j-}. Luttbeg faded the outs as the {8-Diamonds} fell on the river. Zhong is gone and Luttbeg is over the 100K mark.

This Would Have Been The End

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Robert Nonni opened to 4,500 from under the gun and Craig Capello moved all in for 11,700. One seat over, Shannon Stash folded pocket eights because she was afraid of the hand strength of the under-the-gun raiser and Nonni had to call off with the {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}. Capello showed the {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades} and doubled up on the {9-Spades}{8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{4-Hearts} board.
